Zinedine Zidane has already given clear answer to taking Man Utd job
Zinedine Zidane had been linked with the Manchester Utd job before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started to impress.

Trends have already started suggesting that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be sacked after the crushing 2-1 defeat to Young Boys on Tuesday.
United fell to a loss in Bern despite new star Cristiano Ronaldo putting them 1-0 up against the Swiss champions.
And with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer repeatedly coming under criticism despite holding the best Manchester United record in the post-Alex Ferguson era, rumours have already linked other managers to the job.
The most linked have been Antonio Conte and Zinedine Zidane as they look to take on a role befitting of their statuses.
Zidane has been rumoured to join United for years, especially since his Champions League triumphs with Real Madrid.
Winning three consecutive European titles with Los Blancos, Zidane has one of the highest reputations in world football.
But a move may not be on the cards as he's reportedly shown no interest whatsoever in taking a job in England.
And Zidane's agent Alain Migliaccio said as much in 2018 when Zidane was being tipped to replace Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese manager was replaced with Solskjaer in a temporary berth before the Norwegian started to impress at the helm.

But Zidane would not have considered the role if he was approached, according to Migliaccio.
“I do not think that he will manage in England," the Frenchman said.
"It is much less his style. I have discussed it with him, it does not really attract him.
"He has chosen to have a year out, he will not dive in again before that is over.”

Solskjaer has yet to win a major tournament in United colours as a manager despite winning nine in his time at Old Trafford as a player.
But the signings of Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane will likely propel him to those levels.
